South Australian Jockey Club

South Australian Jockey Club is the principal race club in South Australia, Australia.

The first incarnation of the South Australian Jockey Club was in 1850, when it ran a race programme at Brighton on 14 February.[1] Thomas Shayle was the Hon. Sec. and Edward Strike the Clerk of Course.

Presently, races are conducted at one metropolitan course: Morphettville.

In 2008, firstly Victoria Park, and then in 2009 Cheltenham Park were discontinued as racing facilities in South Australia.

Major races include the Group 1 Goodwood Handicap (1200m), Group 2 Adelaide Cup (3200m), Group 1 SA Derby (2500m) and the Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2000m).
